Catching up

It's been difficult to blog the last couple of weeks.  I am getting a bazillion emails a day asking "how are you feeling?"  from friends I can only assume actually care about how I am feeling.  I feel so blessed to have kept our little nugget healthy and safe on the inside for 38 weeks and 3 days. Let's just say this...I feel pregnant.  VERY pregnant.  It's difficult to be so excited and have others around me that are probably just as excited as I am, but feeling so completely pregnant that I really don't want to talk to them until nugget makes his appearance!

Chris and I are ready.  Very ready.  Ready to love this little nugget like we've never loved anything before.   Ready to be parents and teach him everything we know and hope that he turns into a wonderful man.  Ready for 3:00 am feedings after a late night with friends and a little too much wine.  Ready for play dates and tough decisions.

And the best news is that nugget will be here by Friday.  That's right.  Friday, April 13.  My doctor is inducing me on Friday, April 13.  I am not superstitious and have always liked Friday the 13th.  And besides, April 13 is also Thomas Jefferson's birthday.  Not a bad fellow to share a birthday with, if you ask me!  Only four more sleeps!!  I can do anything for 4 sleeps.  Funny thing...it's like Christmas Eve for a 6-year-old over and over and over again.   Can it just be Christmas already?!?!?

I have no idea how much blogging I will do in the first couple of weeks, but I am guessing not much.  Thankfully, most of you are family and will have pictures and updates emailed to you!

  5. I remember that feeling well. Enjoy these next few days, even though you are over-the-moon excited to meet little B, these are the last few days with just you and Chris. (Of course, the minute he arrives you'll both wonder where he's been all your life!) I hope and pray that everything happens as planned and look forward to seeing pictures soon. Oh my...next week at this time you'll be a Mommy! XO
